    n 2016, a big mama bear and her two little cubs enjoyed a refreshing dip in the big, beautiful backyard pool of Gatlinburg, Tennessee resident Cindy Dorrow. Dorrow was surprised to see her ursine visitors so close to home, but she kept her wits about her enough to keep filming as much as she could.

    The Sacramento Police Department beat out six groups of Grant High School students in a friendly swim relay race on Oct. 23 at the school’s new pool.

    Officers who patrol the Del Paso Heights area near the school split up into five teams to take on the Grant High School Junior ROTC, student government, swim team and other student organizations, with the police taking the top spot and the Grant swim team taking second and third place.

    Officers swam in full uniform and bare feet (save one officer, who wore socks), while students wore swimsuits.

    Of the ten sportsmen and women who received the most media coverage between October 1st last year and September 30th this year, five were men and five were women, according to fresh statistics.

    Perhaps unsurprisingly, Zlatan Ibrahimovic topped the list. A whopping 35,619 articles were written about the footballer last year according to the figures compiled by media analysts Retriever and newswire TT.

    He was followed by national men’s football team manager Janne Andersson (with a somewhat more modest 19,639 articles), popular skier Charlotte Kalla, golfer Henrik Stenson, record-breaking swimmer Sarah Sjöström, ex-women’s football manager Pia Sundhage, footballer Lotta Schelin, ice hockey star Henrik Lundqvist, Nordic skier Stina Nilsson and footballer Victor Nilsson Lindelöf.
